Elvis Nickel Alloys is your go-to manufacturer and supplier of AWS Class ENi-CI Coated Electrodes, proudly based in Houston, USA. We cater to the global welding and repair industries with our top-notch products. Our electrodes are specially crafted for welding and repairing cast irons, boasting impressive strength, machinability, and crack resistance. With a nickel-based core and a unique flux coating, ENi-CI electrodes create soft, ductile weld deposits while keeping heat-affected zones to a minimum. Perfect for maintenance and fabrication, our coated electrodes meet AWS standards and ensure reliable performance. At Elvis Nickel Alloys, we’re committed to providing high-quality welding solutions, complete with technical support and timely delivery to meet the needs of the industry.
AWS Class ENi-CI electrodes are made up of a nickel-based core, with small amounts of iron, carbon, and silicon added, all coated with a flux that enhances arc stability and slag control. The weld metal produced is soft, easy to machine, and crack-resistant, making it perfect for joining or repairing gray, nodular, and alloyed cast irons. You can expect typical mechanical properties like a tensile strength of around 400–500 MPa, along with good ductility and low shrinkage stress. These electrodes are versatile for both AC and DC welding, ensuring smooth arc starts and minimal spatter.
